How should I use the Band Aid correctly? When should I not use a band aid?

1.It should be simply disinfected before pasting.

Before using a band-aid, first check whether there is any dirt left in the wound, if there is any unclean substance, the wound should be cleaned with disinfected saline before applying the band-aid.

2.Change the Band-Aid at least once a day.

After opening the band-aid package, avoid contaminating the surface of the medicine. When applying the application, the surface of the medicine must be aimed at the wound, and the two sides of the wound should be slightly pressurized after the application is completed. Pay attention when using Band-Aids:

The first is to observe the changes in the wound at any time, if the wound feels that there is a "throbbing pain" similar to the pulse beating, or there is a discharge overflow, it should be opened in time to observe whether there is redness, swelling, heat and pain around the wound. If so, the wound is infected and should be treated by a doctor immediately.

The second is to protect the wound, do not often pinch the wound with your hands, and move the wound as little as possible to prevent collision, so as not to crack the wound.

Third, the use time of the band-aid should not be too long, at least once a day. <>

3.Do not stick your fingers in circles. Many people have a habit of wrapping a band-aid around their finger after an injured finger.

In fact, bandages on fingers and toes are dangerous. If the bandage is too tight, it is easy to cause poor blood flow to the fingers and toes, and the wound heals slowly. This was the case of a 4-year-old girl in Suzhou, where strips of cloth and cowhide bands outside of band-aids affected blood circulation.

4.Use a medicated band-aid and be careful with allergies.

Generally speaking, band-aids with and without medicine have similar effects, but those with medicine can cause allergies. If there is a burning sensation after the band-aid is applied, stop using it immediately.

5.Pay attention to the expiration date.

Take a look at the outer packaging before use, Band-Aids that have exceeded the expiration date cannot guarantee sterility, and should be thrown away as soon as possible once they expire.

6.Gauze is more reliable than a band-aid.

If it is not an emergency, gauze should be used instead of a band-aid to treat the wound. Compared with Band-Aids, gauze is more breathable and absorbs exudate, which is less likely to cause local wetness and infection. Generally, it is enough to take gauze that is slightly larger than the wound by 1 2 cm, cover the wound after application, and then wrap it with breathable hypoallergenic tape.

Try to keep the wound in a clean and dry state, if the gauze used to bandage the wound is contaminated or soaked in water, it should be replaced in time, and the wound should be re-bandaged after disinfection.

Improper use of band-aids can worsen wound infection.

Band-aids can be regarded as a must-have emergency medical supplies at home, ** the first time a wound on the surface must think of a band-aid, the band-aid is mainly composed of benzalkonium chloride, adhesives, non-woven absorption pads, etc., and the surface in contact with the wound has breathable fibers, which have the effect of hemostasis and broad-spectrum sterilization, which can reduce the chance of infection.

However, the doctor said that the use of the band-aid should depend on the wound, and the use of the band-aid on some wounds will only aggravate the infection.

Shi Zhiguo, an emergency surgeon, said: "For example, if an animal bites are wounds with deep wounds and bleeding wounds, in this case, without disinfection or even after disinfection, we do not advocate sealing the wound, and can be properly opened for drainage, except for more bleeding, we will close the wound." ”<

Small and shallow wounds with band-aids doctor introduction, band-aids are only suitable for small wounds with relatively superficial wounds, neat and clean wounds, not much bleeding and do not need to be sutured, common wounds scratched by sharp weapons such as fruit knives, ring knives or tissue paper pieces at home, the cut surface is small, the wound is better aligned, after simple pressure to stop bleeding, you can use hydrogen peroxide and normal saline to do basic cleaning, and then disinfect with iodine and paste a band-aid.

Band-Aid is a kind of surgical medicine commonly used in daily life, and it is precisely because it is more commonly used that people often ignore its correct use, and sometimes there is a phenomenon of indiscriminate use, so that there will be a strange thing that the more you apply the Band-Aid, the worse it gets. Do you know which wounds should not be band-aided?

1. For deep wounds, band-aids are not suitable；Because the band-aid has poor water absorption and ventilation, it is not only not conducive to the drainage of wound secretions and pus, but also leads to the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Do not use band-aids when the wound is large, and go to the hospital for disinfection, debridement, suturing and bandaging.

2. When the wound surface is not clean or there is a foreign body in the wound, you cannot directly use a band-aid to paste itThe wound should be cleaned or the foreign body removed before disinfection and dressing. 3. When iron nails or other utensils hurt fingers or other parts, causing deep and narrow wounds, they should not be bandaged with band-aidsIt is necessary to stop the bleeding and make the wound burst to prevent infection of the wound by anaerobic bacteria, such as tetanus.

4. Wounds caused by scratches and bites by cats and dogs cannot be bandaged with band-aidsThe wound should be washed several times with soap and water, then disinfected with iodine and alcohol, the wound should be exposed, and the rabies vaccine should be administered.

5. The ulceration after the burn and the infection of the ordinary wound should not be pasted with a band-aid to prevent secondary infection due to poor drainage of secretions.

Special reminder <>

1. If there is a slight trauma, check whether there is a foreign body left in the wound before using a band-aid, and if there is a foreign body, the wound must be cleaned first, and then a band-aid should be applied.

2. When using band-aids, you should pay attention to the fact that the use time should not be too long. If it is used for too long, the adhesive tape on the outer layer of the band-aid is not breathable, which will make the wound and the ** around the wound white and soft, leading to secondary infection.

3. Do not wrap the bandage too tightly when using, so as to avoid anaerobic bacterial infection due to the lack of ventilation in the wound mass, and it is easy to cause avascular necrosis due to the blood circulation of the injured part due to the yang when the eye is wrapped too tightly.

4. If the body is only slightly bruised and bleeding, there is no need to use a band-aid, as long as it is applied with iodine or ethanol, it can play a role in preventing infection.

5. Band-aids are only suitable for small wounds where the wound is relatively superficial, the wound is neat and clean, and the bleeding is not much and does not need to be sutured.

If it is a scald or ulcerated wound, a wound cut by an iron tool or other metal puncture, or a large or deep wound, bitten or scratched by a cat or dog, these wounds should not be band-aided.

For example, for some deep wounds, band-aids are not suitable, or there are glass slags or other foreign bodies in the wound, or they are bitten by animals, or stinged by bees, or burned, and scratched by iron nails or other utensils, at this time, they should not be bandaged with band-aids to prevent tetanus infection.

The wound is deep, the wound is relatively large, the wound is not clean, or there is a foreign body in the wound, or it is injured with iron nails and other metal sharp objects, and it is scratched and bitten by a cat or dog, these wounds are not allowed to use band-aids.

In case of hot weather, if the wound is not deep, in the case of being bitten by a cat or dog, in the case of other blunt injuries, in the case of contact with water.

In our daily life, if we do something when there are some small wounds in a part of the body, we will use a band-aid, you can use it to relieve the pain of the wound, a small band-aid not only has the effect of stopping bleeding and anti-inflammatory and sterilizing, the band-aid is also a common medicine that we must have in each family, but in our daily life, there are some wounds that cannot be put on a band-aid.

2. Minor abrasions.

If your child has only a little bruise**, do not give your child a band-aid or gauze to cover the wound, as exposing the wound will heal faster. As long as iodine or alcohol is applied to the wound, it can help prevent infection.
